Chocolate Waffle Sundaes

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...The Silver Fox had a snack attack last night and, unfortunately, the cupboard and freezer were bare of things that would satisfy his craving. Although I bake a lot, I rarely keep desserts or sweets in the house. Once we've tasted them, they are sent down the hill to be sampled by teenagers who live below us. The boys function as human pacmen and they are my official taste testers. I can't tell you how glad I am to have them so close by. You could roll me down the hill if everything that I baked remained in my kitchen. Discipline is not my strong suit and I pack on pounds quite easily. At any rate, I wanted to throw together something that was tasty but easy to prepare, so, I fell back on an old favorite of ours, chocolate waffles. I have five recipes for this type of waffle, but I am only going to feature two of them tonight. The first is a lovely, just barely sweet, creation by Gale Gand that comes from her book Gale Gand's Brunch. The second is sweeter and more chocolaty waffle that comes from the Hershey test kitchen. You get to pick the one that tickles your taste buds. My plan was to make ice cream sundaes with a chocolate waffle base. I had just enough ice cream to top each waffle with a scoop that I planned to perk up with a drizzle of chocolate syrup. I served them while the waffles were still warm and they were a really nice treat. These are both wonderful recipes and I think you enjoy the waffles they produce. Here are the recipes.

This is like having dessert for breakfast -my kind of meal. That's how I ate as a child but never tried chocolate waffles with ice cream on top. This looks wonderful. Bot recipes look similar but im guessing Gale Gands is fluffier with the addition of egg whites. I look forward to trying these.

The Silver Fox reminds me of my father, who always kept a large chocolate bar in the fridge and would break off on piece each night for dessert. Just one. And he weighed himself every single morning. Such control! His daughter is nothing like that. :)Chocolate waffles would be fun for the grandkids, Mary.

My daughter would love these waffles for breakfast. I know what you mean about the sweets, as much as I cook, I never keep them around, so when we occasionally do get a craving for something, the cupboard is bare!

Chocolate waffles is new on me! How lovely. I understand how important it is for a good baker to have great taste testers! Last year I made a pie a week and I would be 300 pounds if not for my son and his fireman friends :)
